The National Trial Lawyers have featured a new form of Crowdfunding to help clients pay their legal fees.

The National Trial Lawyers is an organization formed of the top 100 trial lawyers across the nation. These attorneys meet very high qualifications working in the fields of criminal defense and civil plaintiff trial.  The National Trial Lawyers organization helps its members better their own law practices and firms through education and networking opportunities in an effort to support superior education, skills, and experience. The also feature the top 40 lawyers under 40 nationwide, and have varying other accolades.  

The National Trial Lawyers organization has several publications for its members including a monthly magazine, “The Trial Lawyer”, a weekly e-newsletter “Voice for Justice”, and supports a user based blog “Raising the Bar”. Recently, the National Trial Lawyers featured www.FundedJustice.com in an attempt to introduce its members to a new way for the ever-popular issue of “I need representation but cannot afford a lawyer”.

Funded Justice allows its users to create a crowdfunding campaign in an effort to gain the funds needed to secure appropriate representation for whatever their legal issue may be. The user has the ability to sign in and create their story using pictures and any other media available to them. They then tell their story in their own words. Once submitted to www.FundedJustice.com, the user is able to consolidate all of their fundraising goals into one central location, at the same time having the power of social media behind them to help spread their story.

Platforms like Funded Justice allows for the campaign owner to request donations in any dollar amount from $1 up. Once their story is published, the user can link their story to catapults like Twitter and Facebook to increase the visibility of their story and hopefully spread the word to increase donations. One unlikely donation of $2000 towards legal fees or 20 donations of $100 each, still adds up to the legal fees they need to get help for their legal issues.

Funded Justice’s mission is to help people have their day in court after observing so many people with legal cases who were unable to proceed for justice because they did not have the cash to support the legal fees and costs associated with their case.
